Alternative medicine

Although there aren't any alternative medicine treatments that have been found to conclusively help ease the symptoms of blepharitis, a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids or supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids, may be helpful for blepharitis associated with rosacea. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in foods such as salmon, tuna, trout, flaxseed and walnuts.
